Damage
Damage is made up of 3 major components:
- Armor Categories, which define what armor protects against.
- Damage Types, which defines what damage does what injury.
- Health Difficulties, which defines that the consequences are of an injury.
Your colonists are likely going to get injured at some point in RimWorld (or suffer a horrific death). Here's a list of damage types currently in RimWorld:
Armor Categories
Armor protects against certain things. Cross-reference this with the damage types table to see what's category protects what.
How much protection armor gives is determined by its armor rating.
- Each point of armor from 1 - 50% reduces damage by 1%.
- Each point of armor between 51 - 100% provides a 1% chance to not take damage.
- Each point of armor beyond 100% reduces damage by 0.25% and gives a 0.25% chance to not take damage.
Damage Types
Damage is split into many different types.
Damage is split into many different types, with different descriptors and death messages for injuries, different interactions with different targets and armor types, and different default stats. Not to be confused with health difficulties.
